# Description
Further work towards the goal that we can make `Record`'s field private
and experiment with different internal representations
## Details
- Use inplace record iter in `nu-command/math/utils`
- Guarantee that existing allocation can be reused
- Use proper record iterators in `path join`
- Remove unnecesary hashmap in `path join`
- Should minimally reduce the overhead
- Unzip records in `nu-command`
- Refactor `query web` plugin to use record APIs
- Use `Record::into_values` for `values` command
- Use `Record::columns()` in `join` instead.
- Potential minor pessimisation
- Not the hot value path
- Use sane `Record` iters in example `Debug` impl
- Avoid layout assumption in `nu-cmd-extra/roll/mod`
- Potential minor pessimisation
- relegated to `extra`, changing the representation may otherwise break
this op.
- Use record api in `rotate`
- Minor risk that this surfaces some existing invalid behavior as panics
as we now validate column/value lengths
- `extra` so things are unstable
- Remove unnecessary references in `rotate`
- Bonus cleanup
# User-Facing Changes
None functional, minor potential differences in runtime. You win some,
you lose some.

this PR removes `extern-wrapped` and `export extern-wrapped` in favor of

# User-Facing Changes
`extern-wrapped` and `export extern-wrapped` will not be found anymore.

# Description
Where appropriate, this PR replaces instances of
`Value::get_data_by_key` and `Value::follow_cell_path` with
`Record::get`. This avoids some unnecessary clones and simplifies the
code in some places.
# Description
Changes the `captures` field in `Closure` from a `HashMap` to a `Vec`
and makes `Stack::captures_to_stack` take an owned `Vec` instead of a
borrowed `HashMap`.
This eliminates the conversion to a `Vec` inside `captures_to_stack` and
makes it possible to avoid clones altogether when using an owned
`Closure` (which is the case for most commands). Additionally, using a
`Vec` reduces the size of `Value` by 8 bytes (down to 72).
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking API change for `nu-protocol`.
- Replaced `start`/`end` with span.
- Fixed standard library.
- Add `help` option.
- Add a couple more errors for invalid record types.
Resolve#10914
# Description
# User-Facing Changes
- **BREAKING CHANGE:** `error make` now takes in `span` instead of
`start`/`end`:
```Nushell
error make {
msg: "Message"
label: {
text: "Label text"
span: (metadata $var).span
}
}
```
- `error make` now has a `help` argument for custom error help.
# Description
Reuses the existing `Closure` type in `Value::Closure`. This will help
with the span refactoring for `Value`. Additionally, this allows us to
more easily box or unbox the `Closure` case should we chose to do so in
the future.
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking API change for `nu_protocol`.

- Add `detailed` flag for `describe`
- Improve detailed describe and better format when running examples.
# Rationale
For now, neither `describe` nor any of the `debug` commands provide an
easy and structured way of inspecting the data's type and more. This
flag provides a structured way of getting such information. Allows also
to avoid the rather hacky solution
```nu
$in | describe | str replace --regex '<.*' ''
```

Adds a new flag to ``describe`.

# Description
As part of the refactor to split spans off of Value, this moves to using
helper functions to create values, and using `.span()` instead of
matching span out of Value directly.
Hoping to get a few more helping hands to finish this, as there are a
lot of commands to update :)

# Description
This doesn't really do much that the user could see, but it helps get us
ready to do the steps of the refactor to split the span off of Value, so
that values can be spanless. This allows us to have top-level values
that can hold both a Value and a Span, without requiring that all values
have them.
We expect to see significant memory reduction by removing so many
unnecessary spans from values. For example, a table of 100,000 rows and
5 columns would have a savings of ~8megs in just spans that are almost
always duplicated.

# Description
This PR creates a new `Record` type to reduce duplicate code and
possibly bugs as well. (This is an edited version of #9648.)
- `Record` implements `FromIterator` and `IntoIterator` and so can be
iterated over or collected into. For example, this helps with
conversions to and from (hash)maps. (Also, no more
`cols.iter().zip(vals)`!)
- `Record` has a `push(col, val)` function to help insure that the
number of columns is equal to the number of values. I caught a few
potential bugs thanks to this (e.g. in the `ls` command).
- Finally, this PR also adds a `record!` macro that helps simplify
record creation. It is used like so:
```rust
record! {
"key1" => some_value,
"key2" => Value::string("text", span),
"key3" => Value::int(optional_int.unwrap_or(0), span),
"key4" => Value::bool(config.setting, span),
}
```
Since macros hinder formatting, etc., the right hand side values should
be relatively short and sweet like the examples above.
Where possible, prefer `record!` or `.collect()` on an iterator instead
of multiple `Record::push`s, since the first two automatically set the
record capacity and do less work overall.
# User-Facing Changes

https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9773 introduced constants to
modules and allowed to export them, but only within one level. This PR:
* allows recursive exporting of constants from all submodules
* fixes submodule imports in a list import pattern
* makes sure exported constants are actual constants
Should unblock https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9678
### Example:
```nushell
module spam {
export module eggs {
export module bacon {
export const viking = 'eats'
}
}
}
use spam
print $spam.eggs.bacon.viking # prints 'eats'
use spam [eggs]
print $eggs.bacon.viking # prints 'eats'
use spam eggs bacon viking
print $viking # prints 'eats'
```
### Limitation 1:
Considering the above `spam` module, attempting to get `eggs bacon` from
`spam` module doesn't work directly:
```nushell
use spam [ eggs bacon ] # attempts to load `eggs`, then `bacon`
use spam [ "eggs bacon" ] # obviously wrong name for a constant, but doesn't work also for commands
```
Workaround (for example):
```nushell
use spam eggs
use eggs [ bacon ]
print $bacon.viking # prints 'eats'
```
I'm thinking I'll just leave it in, as you can easily work around this.
It is also a limitation of the import pattern in general, not just
constants.
### Limitation 2:
`overlay use` successfully imports the constants, but `overlay hide`
does not hide them, even though it seems to hide normal variables
successfully. This needs more investigation.

Relative: #8248
After this pr, user can define const variable inside a module.
And user can export const variables, the following screenshot shows how
it works (it follows
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8248#issuecomment-1637442612):
## About the change
1. To make module support const, we need to change `parse_module_block`
to support `const` keyword.
2. To suport export `const`, we need to make module tracking variables,
so we add `variables` attribute to `Module`
3. During eval, the const variable may not exists in `stack`, because we
don't eval `const` when we define a module, so we need to find variables
which are already registered in `engine_state`
## One more thing to note about the const value.
Consider the following code
```
module foo { const b = 3; export def bar [] { $b } }
use foo bar
const b = 4;
bar
```
The result will be 3 (which is defined in module) rather than 4. I think
it's expected behavior.
It's something like [dynamic
binding](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Dynamic-Binding-Tips.html)
vs [lexical
binding](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Lexical-Binding.html)
in lisp like language, and lexical binding should be right behavior
which generates more predicable result, and it doesn't introduce really
subtle bugs in nushell code.
What if user want dynamic-binding?(For example: the example code returns
`4`)
There is no way to do this, user should consider passing the value as
argument to custom command rather than const.
## TODO
- [X] adding tests for the feature.
- [X] support export const out of module to use.

`nu_protocol::extract_value`, a bunch of the math commands, and
`Gstat::gstat`.
